Partners make Go Code Colorado great. Our partners play an important role in helping to offset costs and make sure the competition remains free and available to anyone who wants to participate. Others offer access to special data, tools, or mentors. Some do both. As our Summit Partner for 2016, AT&T brings an incredible history of innovation, and is offering participants the opportunity to work with their best and brightest driving innovation today.
Since the days of the first transcontinental telephone call 100 years ago, AT&T and its subsidiaries have been leading innovation in the ways we connect and communicate. AT&T Foundry embodies that spirit in fast-paced and collaborative environments, where employees and partners work to deliver applications and services to customers more quickly than ever before. The Foundry also serves as a front door for startups, developers and partners; with teams from AT&T Foundry meeting with up to 500 startups a year seeking to do business with AT&T.
AT&T Foundry is the company’s network of innovation centers built to explore new technology and the future of the industry. Cross-functional teams work on projects focusing on areas of significant business or technology interest and typically involve external startups, innovators, entrepreneurs, academics, and inventors. Projects are organized in short ‘sprints’ designed to determine success or failure quickly. Innovations from the Foundry range from technologies for the connected car and connected home, to network optimization and efficiencies for data centers and customer care.
As part of the 2016 Go Code Colorado challenge, the three winning teams will spend a day via videoconference with AT&T Foundry staff in Palo Alto serving as mentors and advisers to help them launch their idea and take the next step to bring it to market. What better group to help accelerate Go Code ideas? We’re pleased to join AT&T in offering this unique opportunity for the 2016 winners and can’t wait to see how this partnership helps drive innovation in public data.
